If my personal growth journey hadn’t have…

In a world where nothing lasts forever, 2017 is going to be a year of creating things that do. Art, memories, legacies. I don’t ‘do’ New Years Resolutions’ on the premise that we don’t need a new year, a new month, a new day (a new chapter) to start a fresh, keep a promise, be…
